Move Over Delphi
5 stars
Transparency: I know Lisa personally. We've worked together with the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. I count her as a friend. She doesn't know I'm reviewing her book.
I loved this. Paranormal Women's Fiction is my go to these days when I want a fun, challenging, and engaging read. I've been a fan since the original coven of 13 started writing it back in the day. It's blossomed to it's own Thing now and I hope it stays around for a long time.
Wynter Chastain discovers that she's been picked by "Goldie" - an enchanted armband - for a new role in her life. Her kids are grown. Her husband dead but hardly forgotten - the rat! But she has to pick up the pieces of her life and carry on somehow.
Luckily Goldie gives her something to worry about that isn't "How could he have done this to us?"
I ripped through this in a matter of hours, it's that good. Excellent characters, engaging setting. Loved the way the story unfolded one step at a time, each one interesting in itself but building toward a tremendously satisfying conclusion.
Highly recommended.
